Some of the individuals involved in the recent Minnesota fraud scandal were US Citizens of Somali descent, but there were also some Somali nationals who were not U.S. citizens. To date, the U.S. department of justice has charged 98 defendants in the Minnesota fraud related cases, 85 of whom are of Somali descent. So 98 have been charged, 85 are of Somali descent, 64 have been convicted. The Department of Justice has also issued more than 1,750 subpoenas, executed more than 130 search warrants, and conducted more than 1,000 witness interviews. (01:15–01:31)
